Netiquette
Netiquette:
Netiquette is the use of guidelines that we are to
follow when we use the internet. It comes from
combining the words network and etiquette. It tells
us what to do and what not to do when online.
Netiquette is the right way to use your manners
while communicating with others on the internet.
Always treat other people like you would like to be
treated yourself.
